The hotel is good, the service is very good, the service attitude is also good, the room is clean, the location is also very close to the seaside and the bus station, you can walk there in about 10 minutes, the breakfast is amazing, rich and delicious!

The hotel is with the University of Cape Town Business School. There are many rooms, the facilities are a bit old, and the electricity is sometimes unstable. Very close to the shopping area, quiet in the bustle. The front desk was very welcoming.

I'm curious why Chinese tourists don't comment on Ctrip. I stayed for four nights and would like to share with you my objective experience of staying. The room is very small. Although the family room has been upgraded, there are two small beds in each of the two separate small rooms, which basically takes up the room space. The facilities are a bit old. Although the faucet and hardware are Hansgrohe, and the toilet is also a famous brand, they are still a bit old and cannot be compared with domestic hotels of the same price. After talking about the bad points, let’s talk about the highlights: the breakfast is very good, with a variety of varieties, and the service is in place. The restaurant is on the other side of the hotel, you need to pass through the Business School of the University of Cape Town, and you can see the Victoria Pier. The location is also very convenient: it is convenient for eating, shopping, and sightseeing. It feels like it is on the edge of the business district, suitable for walking and shopping.

The room is compact. I recommend if you want to be walking distance to the Waterfront. Being close to the waterfront is a must. This hotel is budget friendly and there is daily buffet breakfast.

Nice hotel, great location, across the street from “hop on hop off” transportation, many restaurants, walking distance to mall 5 minutes, would stay again

Very comfortable rooms, ours one of the large ones. Stayed 1 week. The room we booked through ******* was a small inconvenient room, not what I requested, but the staff graciously moved us to another, larger room. Hotel VERY convenient, like across the street, to Alfred & Victoria Waterfront, Aquarium, lots places to dine. Concierge services very accomodating and informative. Breakfasts "sumptuous" and became our major meal of the day. If/when we return to Cape Town this will be our residence.

This was a jail in it's past life. The rooms are minute, basic, austere. It is smaller than dorm rooms and very poorly laid out. To get to the bathroom, you have to close the bedroom door and vice versa. There is an ironing board hanging on the wall! I had no shelves in the closet and one tiny drawer at a desk. They say students come to the business school next door, but then don't call it a hotel.A hostel maybe? After a few days they did move me to a bigger room and that was more comfortable. Be sure what you are booking. The family rooms are awful. The staff was very polite, helpful and as accommodating as they could be under the circumstances, commenting that other people complain about the size and cramped rooms. And the soap, shampoo and conditioner in one?? Cheap! I will not return,

Our stay was fabulous and the staff were courteous and professional. The rooms were clean and the food was great. Our kids loved the stay and they enjoyed every moment to the point that they sometimes never wanted to leave the room.
